Giveaway: “Take Your Pix” Board Book Albums

Board Book Albums LLC is giving away 3 white board book albums to ScrapScene readers! Please read through to the bottom of this post for details of the giveaway.

Board Book Albums LLC is proud to offer a new chunky board book style photo album that can be used by small children, big kids, and adults alike. The "Take Your Pix" photo album (patent pending) has sturdy pages, into which photos can be inserted from an opening in the top of the pages. Unlike other albums, these albums have thick sturdy pages that are perfect for little kids to handle (like the chunky little kids books). Notches have been added to the page edges to facilitate page turning. The photo album is 7" x 7" with 10 pages. It holds 20 4" x 6" photos and has a cover photo frame that holds a slightly smaller photo (about 4" x 5", so you can just trim a 4" x 6" photo to fit).

The albums could be used by little ones to keep all their favorite photos or to record memorable events. Moms and other grownups could make scrapbooks, or customize and decorate the albums for special occasions, to give as gifts, etc. The solid white albums are great for scrapbooking or decorating yourself. Kids would have a great time decorating their own books with stickers, stamps, or markers. In early November we will have pink, blue, and yellow albums titled “My First Photos” in stock. These albums would be perfect for toddlers or to give as baby shower gifts. We plan to offer the albums in other styles and colors in the future. Please feel free to make suggestions or share ideas about products that you would like to see in our store. Happy Scrapbooking!!

For your chance to win 1 of 3 white board book albums from Board Book Albums LLC, please comment to this post by Wednesday, September 3rd at midnight EST. We’d like to hear: If you had an album from Board Book Albums, what would be the subject matter and how would you embellish it using your scrapbooking supplies? We’re looking forward to hearing some great ideas! 3 winners will be selected via an online random number generator and announced on Thursday, Sept 4th.

This would be perfect to give to a grandchild who lives far away so he would have pictures of extended family he sees rarely …. perfect size and shape for a young child who is familiar with board books aleady – this is his board book about his family!

I would use it for singel girls tips and trix. My daughter just got singel and she told me about how her friends did give her some lessons about the singel girls life. I am planing to do an album for her, but this one look so perfekt.

OMG….I would love to have one of these! I have 5 kids- one just started college, one just started HS, only one is a daughter, and 2 are identical twin boy 2 1/2 yr olds who are mildly autistic. The twins use books I make them to identify things they need or want since they don’t talk yet. I have been wanting to make them personalized ABC books and this would be perfect!

We have taken a few camping and hiking trips this summer I think it would be great to showcase these. I am not sure how I would embellish it, that would depend on what inspiration hit me with it in hand.

If i had a boardbook, I would make a family book for my one year old grandson filled with pictures of his grandparents, aunts, and uncles, and parents, and pets. We live in a different state, so it would help him remember all of us! I would use bright. colorful papers, and sturdy embellishments to hold up under little hands!

Wow – what a great idea. I’d love something like this to scrap my dog’s puppyhood so that we’re always reminded of what she is like, especially 20 years down the road when she is not likely to be with us anymore.

Great idea! If I win I’ll either make an album about my pets or of the cards I’ve received from message board friends. As far as embellishments, all the usual ones: flowers, buttons, brads, ribbon, etc…

I would use this type of album for my mother-in-law has Parksonian-like symptoms and has a hard time turning pages, please she is going blind and with the pictures being that size, she could look them of her Grandkids and Great grandkids…..she would love this as she loves her pictures and has a very difficult time seeing who is who these days, she is almost 90 years old and still lives alone since the death of her husband 5 years ago….I would decorate it simply so that she wouldnt be afraid to look at it frequently…Thank you for such a generous RAK

Would love to win one of these. I have never done a mini-album but I think I’m ready to try one. The subject would be my children and grandchildren. I would decorate each page to match the personality of each one. On the granddaughters would definitely use lots of swirls, ribbons, and bling. The two younger boys would have cars and trucks as the main embellishment elements. I have some that I am so ready to use for that. With my older DGS it would be basketball as that is his main love.

Oh, as soon as I saw this I knew exactly what i could do with this! I have been thinking about creating a mini album of my sons first year! He will be turning 1 on October 29th, so this would be perfect timing for me! I am going to do a page for each first milestone: smile, hold head up, sits up, first word, waving, first food, first crawl, first turning over, first steps, first …you get the idea! I will decorate the album using a consistent line of scrapbooking papers…of which I have not quite decided on! I am leaning towards the Basic Grey Boxer papers or making memories Jack line of papers.
I would love the opportunity to create something that would show how awesome these mini books truly are!

Those albums are soo neat! What a fun idea. I would make a family album. Having pics of relatives that my kids don’t get to see as often. Since they live across the country. That way when the kids meet them, they will recognize them, and know who their aunts and cousins are.

This would have been great when my children were smaller, as I would put family and friend pictures into a small album that they could look through and point to and talk about who was in them. I would be very careful w/ embellies if it’s for wee ones and stick to hardboard stickers and rubs as you would not want little fingers prying them off and ending up choking on them! Thanks for the chance to win!

This would be the perfect type of album for my granddaughter to work on. The notches would make it so much easier for her to turn the pages. She likes to collect brochures from places we visit, cut her favorite characters from cereal boxes, pick up leaves etc from walks and then use these items on her scrapbook pages along with photos. And she’s only 6! She’s definitely on her way to being a creative scrapbooker. This album would be a great asset! Nice job!

I love the concept! It would be great for making “People who love me” album for my 1 year old nephew that lives thousands of miles away from us. To decorate the album I would go with paints and stamps, maybe some felt but nothing that can easily be ripped of

aahh…i have a trip to hawaii planned for a family wedding in november and this would be PERFECT for the vacation pics!
with tons of colored papers and i see ribbon tabs sticking out all over, too.
so cute!

As a new grandmother, I would make this board book album for Sawyer placing pictures of his family members (grandmas, grandpas, aunts, uncles, cousins) with their names. Decorations would be representative of each family member. For example, Grandpa Chet would have mail (rural letter carrier), horses, cows, tractors, etc. Cousin Tresa would have medical objects since she is a doctor. Oh, my! I need one of these! Thanks for the chance to win!

Those books look wonderful!!! I love that they have notches to help turn the page!!!
I have some photos of a trip to the aquarium I would love to do up in a book for my son! He loves looking at books of the adventures we take!!!!

My subject matter would be Halloween. I would use flat embellishments for the inside pages. Each page would have a different pattern paper and embellishment. On the cover I would use some Halloween fabric papper and add 3-D embellishments.

The structured organization of these chubby books would make an ideal album for recording a child’s early school year, with slots for photos and school artwork samples, etc, plus room to add titles and dates.

What a great idea! I love it! I would make just an easy one at first with family pics and easy decorations that wouldn’t come off in it so my 19 mth old could look at it! He loves the chunky board books!

That is an awesome board book….. I would scrap my Darling Gandson’s 6th Bday…. With bright colors, a carousel sticker (his bouncy house) and a water slide…… Lots of balloons with embroidery floss for the strings. I have some happy birthday embellies that I’ve been saving… A couple pages explaining how Mommy had a carnival circus theme with carnival prizes…. All the kids playing with the squirtling water tubes….. And more….

at the moment my 5 year old is learning how to read and write some basic words.. I want to create a board book with these words for him in a fun way so he ‘wants’ to use them and read them. I would use lots of boyish papers and some glossy accents to decorate it! I also want to create a board book about our first home… hmm choices!

Ooooooh, I love mini books, and these board books look fabulous!! We just threw a surprise party for my Mom’s 70th and this would be a great way to put together the photos from that special day. Those pages look like they could be inked and stamped and oh I don’t know what else! But I’d love to try them out!

Absolutely fantastic idea, i have not heard of these albums before, don’t know if i can get them here in Australia, will have to go and do a Google search now i think. hopefully i might get one in the mail from the U, wink, wink ! Thanks for the opportunity to win one !

I am so excited to see these. My son (14 months) has become totally fasinated by books. I feel like I have read every board book in my house like a million times! He loves his scrapbook too, but Mommy is way to scared to leave it out for his little hands. This is the perfect solution. Josh loves to look at pictures of himself as a baby and of family members. I would love to make him a book with his “baby” pictures as well as things in his world. Breakout the patterned paper and thickers and diecuts! Thanks so much for such a great product.

I would make a book for my little step-grandaughter who lives across the country in denver, so she could see her family in North Carolina, embellishing with fun beachy type things since that is something that she doesnt have in colorado.

I know several floks have had the same idea but I have to say it again. this book is perfect for long distance family. I have made an ABC book containing pictures of family for my nephews to help them remember everyone as well as learn thier ABCs and I have also made some with just the pictures of the family as well. (I made them out of ID badge holders)
The minute I saw this I knew it would be perfect for my grandaughters first birthday in Oct. She is in Texas and is not going to get to know all of us as well (everyone is here in Az and she is all the way over in Tx
I love the Daisy D’s nursery paper as well as the fun DCWV Nursery stack for this. Wouldn’t it be great! Maybe mix it up with some K& Co.

i think this is such a great idea! it’d be nice for a child’s bday party (a quick craft for the kids to enjoy and remember the bday party fun). this would also be nice to use as a family album to display (once it’s been embellished etc). that way the kids can brag about it and show it off without breaking or tearing it.

This would be a perfect album to make for my great neice with pictures of all her relatives. They are living several states away from us and don’t get to visit often. She will be a year old soon, so this would be great for her to be able to handle and remember us.

I love these books, I have been meaning to alter an old board book for at least a year, this is much better, a white canvas! – I would make an alphabet book for my three year old son, with pictures of things around our house. Just perfect.

These are great! My kids (2 and 4) love it when I make books about them and our family, but them can be rough on traditional paper pages. I would love to make them an album of their summer events with this – lots of brights and touchable embellies!

The whiteness feels so ‘still’, it seems more like a reflection album to me.
I’d love to do side by side photo layouts of my daughter 13yrs, and me at her age. We look so similar. She has such a tranquility about her – the white album would reflect this with subdued colours, lacework and watercolour. I’ve never seen anything like this before.

I don’t quite know why but I’ve got Halloween on the mind. This would make a great Halloween book! I could either do I book of all of our different costumes over the years or just document this year’s festivities–using some cool halloween papers/embellies of course.

I would love to have one of these for a recent trip I took to Chicago. My sister was walking in the Breast Cancer 3-Day there so a bunch of my family members travelled from MN to see her. It would be the perfect mini album (which I love right now) to have as a special momento of the adventure!

Wow! These are really fun board books. If I had one, I think I would decorate it and add photos of my niece and nephews to keep on my desk to show off. How fun that would be instead of all these photo frames everywhere taking up space!!

My one year old loves books. He loves to eat them, though. I would definitely use one of these books to make an album of family members for him. That would allow me to teach him names of family he doesn’t see very often. He loves to look at books with photographs on his own, so I know it’s something he would love.

I’d use the book for our trips up to Lake Superior, we love it there. I’d use all kinds of lake/beach/water embellishments, ribbons, maybe even some real sand that we’ve brought home.

What a wonderful product! And thanks for the chance to win one!! This would be perfect for my little niece. I would put pictures of the people in her family into the album and embellish with bright papers. Since she’s so little, I wouldn’t use any tiny embellishments that could be swallowed, although I think adding buttons & ribbon would be great if the book were to be used by either an older child or an adult.

This would be a great project. I pretty much stick to just layouts and cards, so winning this would give me a chance to create something like a year in review album that I’ve thought about doing for a while. Good luck to everyone!

What fun to think through my idea for making a photo journal for my youngest son using one of your books! I would love to embellish the backgrounds using old school work papers, drawings etc. from his youth. Then on to decorating the pages using stamps and journaling tags for further embellishment. I would also like to incorporate a blank area for my son to add further comments about his fantastic growing-up years. My son is now 30 years of age! YIKES!!! Where did those years go??

Hi!
Since I just had my second baby, I would make an album comparing my two kids at this beginning! I really love baby stuff and by now I am so in love with fabric… I guess I could use lots and lots of beautiful fabric!

Great books, so much fun to play with! If I had one, I’ll probably make a travel theme for my past vacations, I have numerous stickers and embelllishments with travel theme from diff brands, so it will be good to use them in this book.

Awesome books if I had one I would make it a storybook about my travel to NZ from South Africa as a child on our family yacht and use papers from Kaisercraft and Heidi swapp that have a nautical travel feel about them as well as matching embellishments

I love this idea. my mom just had a special 80th birthday party, so I think it would be perfect to put captured fun and friends into this 20 pic book! It’s not too big to tote out of a cupboard, and can be left out for coffee table viewing & conversation.

Those new boardbooks are too good to be true!! the alter artist in me is screaming!!! l want a few or them…no, I want a case of them!! Let’s see, I could scrap a few, put b&w’s in a few, alter a few, paint a few, heck I could display my atcs in a few…i could go on and on with ideas for those bbs…ok, i’ll calm down now but wait…i could emboss, ink, watercolor, sew, grunge, collage…ok, i’ll stop now before you really think i’m crazy:)
thanks for the chance to win!
i’ll just go lay down now to rest my weary head and dream sweet bbs dancing in my head!

The only thing I could suggest would be to used different colors. It does not have to be white and it can still be kinda see through. Since they would be fun to use by kids, color would be great.thanks! Hope I can win one of these they look so much fun!

i love my mini books … my next one plans to be my line dancing exploits .. we do lots of fancy dress nights and things like that – so i’d like to do that
I’d embelish it with lots and lots of ribbons – as i LOVE using these in my mini books

This is such a great idea! I’ve been considering doing an album for and/or with my 3-year-old daughter, but didn’t know the best way to make is preschooler-proof outside of laminating plain pages. She has grandparents and cousins (and others) that she talks about but who live far away and, like all kids her age, loves things that are “hers.” Too perfect!
